Biological Activity
Taxol, also known as paclitaxel, promotes and stabilizes tubulin polymerization, causing cell cycle arrest. In CCRF-HSB-2 cells, Taxol induces autocatalytic activation of caspase-10, triggering apoptosis. Taxol is an antitumor agent. In a mouse model of bladder cancer Taxol decreases tumor growth. Taxol also prolongs survival of mice transplanted with human ovarian carcinoma xenografts. Taxol improves neurological outcome and magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers after traumatic brain injury in mice.
